UNITED STATE GEORGE SOLARZ, QF GALLITZIN, PENNSYLVANIA- BREAD MXXER.

Application filed September 22,1825.

This invention aims kto provide a simple but eiiicient means 'for mixingdough for bread, cakes, and the like; i f

ft is within Vthe province of the/disclosure to improve generally and toenhance the utility of devices of that type to which the inventionappcrtains. u

With the above and other objects in view which will appear as thedescription proceeds, the invention resides in the combination 'andarrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafterdescribed. and claimed, it being understood that changes in the preciseembodiment of the invention herein disclosed, may be made within thescope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of theinvention.

In the drawings f y Figure l v`shows in transverse section, a deviceconstructed in accordance with the invention; j

Figure 2 is a top plan wherein parts are broken away;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal section taken through the receptacle;

Figure 4 is a section similar to Figure 3 but showing a modification;

Figure 5 is a perspective view showings modification iin the means forholding the fixed blades; i i

Figure 6 is an elevation showing a modification; f

Figures 7, 8, 9 and 10 are perspective views showing modifie-d beaters;

Figure 11 is a the hook. y v

Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, thereis shown Aa receptacle 1including` a body 2 having an outstanding upwardly extended flange 3,the receptacle 1 being mounted on a platform 4 which forms the bottom ofthe receptacle 1, the platform-4 having a casing 5 which is open at oneend, a drawer 6 being perspective view showing i sildably mounted in thecasing 5 and being supported on the platform 4, the drawer being adaptedto receive detachable parts of the machine, which will be mentionedhereinafter.

In the inner side wall 7 of the receptacle 1 there is a vertical socket8 into which may be inserted a standard 9 having an inclined head 10provided with openings or seats 11 in which fixed blades 12 are mountedat their upper ends, the blades being held in place -by set screws 14threaded into the head 10.

There may be as many or as few of the blades Serial No. 131GB?.

l2 as occasion may demand, and the blades may be shaped in a variety ofways, without departing from the spirit of the invention. The blades 12,in the present instance, are twisted, but this is not insisted upon. Theblades 12 are disposed at an acute angle to the side wall7 of thereceptacle 1 and extend downwardly into the receptacle to a point beyondthe median longitudinal plane of the body 1, as .Figure 1 will showclearly.

The `body 2 of the receptacle 1 is supplied at its ends with bearings 15in which are rotatably mounted shafts 16 whereon cranks 17 aredetachably mounted as at 9T. The inner extremities 18 of shafts 16 aresquared. The shafts 16 have circumferential grooves 19, adapted toreceive retainers which may be screws 2O threaded into the bearings 15and having reduced 'ends 21 received in the grooves 19.

The shafts 16 drive a beater, and are capable of so doing, because thesquared ends 18 of the shafts are received in correspondingly shapedsockets 22 formed in the ends of a shaft 23 having blades 24 whichcooperate with Vthe fixedV blades 12. The receptacle 1 Y may besurinounted by a lid supported on the iange 3.

In practical operation, when rotation is imparted to the shaft 28 bymeans of either of the shafts 16 and either of the cranks 17, therotatable blades 24, cooperating with the fixed blades 12, will lrneadand beat up the dough, in a way which will be obvious when thedrawingskare noted.. When the occasion for the use of the device haspassed., the `cranks 17, the beater 2B-24, the blades l2, and thestandard 9 may be stowed in the drawer 6. The blades 12 may be adjustedin the direction of their length in the head 10 of the standard 9, andmay be raised or adjusted vertically,to some extent, also.

- Reverting to Figure 5 of the drawing, the standard is denoted by thenumeral 26, and includes a transverse head 27 having a superflcialgroove or seat- 28 in which is slidable a single blade 29 having anelongated opening 30 through which Vpasses a set screw 31 thread- Aedinto the head 27, the set screw serving to bind the blade 29 in thegroove 28, and it ,be-

n. ing possible, also, to adjust the blade endwise. i The blade 29 isstraight, or nearly so, and

Figure 5, compared with Figure 2, for in-` stance, inakes it evidentthat the shape of the blade may be changed, and that there may be manyor few of the xed blades.

In Figures of the drawings, parts hereinbefore described have beendesignated by numerals previously used, with the sufiix a. In Figure 4,the beater shaft 23 has rectangular arms 32 which extend outwardly fromthe shaft 23 in a radial direction, and then eX- tend longitudinally ofthe shaft, in parallel relation thereto. In this form of the invention,the high lid shown at is not necessary, and its place is taken bya lowerlid 33 which is supported directly on the upper edge of the body 2a,within the flange 3.

In Figure 6, the receptacle is marked byy the numeral and the lid by thenumeral 5l. The casing'y for the drawer is shown at 52. The numeralmarks one of the shafts, such as the shafts 16 of Figure 3. The cranks17 ofv Figure 3 are removed, and a gear wheel 85 is detachably securedat 5e to one of the shafts 53, the gear wheel 85 meshing witha'pinion 56which forms part of an electric motor 57.

f Figure 6, taken in connection with the descript-ion, renders itevident that the device maybe operated by power of any kind 1f desired,rather than by the cranks 17..

In Figure 7, the beater shaft 23b has plane blades 58, disposed indiagonally opposite relation to eachother, and blades 59 disposed about180D remote from the blades 58, the blades 59 having inwardly extendedlingers 60 at their outer ends. Blades 6l project from the shaft23b andare located about 1800 remote from each other. The blades 6l arelocatedbetween the blades 58-59 Each of the blades 59 is located alittle nearer to the corresponding blade 6l than is the adjacent blade58.

In Figure 8 of the drawings, parts hereinbefore described. havebeendesignated by numerals previously used, with the suffix c. The beatershaft 23C is supplied with oppositely extended blades 62, corresponding`to the blades 61. Blades 63 are located diagonally opposite to eachother and project from the shaft 23C, the'blades 63 having inwardlyextended fingers 64, disposed approximately parallel to the shaft 23.

.inerals previously used with the suffix In Figure 9 of the drawings,parts hereinbefore described have been designated by numerals previouslyused with the suffix d. rIhe beater shaft 23d is ,supplied withoppositely extended blades 65', spaced apart longitudinally of the shaft23d, and equipped at `their outer ends with fingers 66, located apnhooks 7l. The hooks 7l may be engaged with the shaft 23, to lift thebeater out of the dough.

Vhat is claimed is In a device of the class described, a receptaclehaving a wall provided with a substantially vertical socket, a singleremovable standard mounted at its lower end directly inV the socket inthe wall,ia transverse head mounted intermediate its ends on the upperend of the standard and having a transverse seat, a blade disposed at anangle to the vertical and extendeddownwardly into the receptacle, theblade being adjustable in the direction of its length in the seat, asecuringl device engaging the blade and the head and holding the bladerfor longitudinal adjustment as aforesaid, and a beater journaled in thereceptacle and including a blade located at the side of the blade on thestandard, the

blade being held in the seat of the standardy :against lateral swingingmovement, thereby to prevent the blade of the standardfrom engaging theblade of the beater.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixedmy signature.
